And Burns is amoung the best documentary filmakers.
The difference between this and Baseball or the Civil War is that the title implies he is sticking to a script, which is a different approach - he would take a subject on from every angle. As good as Emperor was, it's still a single vantage point with the author's bias. The book is now also relatively old, leaving us out of all the implications of where this field is going. Hopefully he is going beyond the scope of the book.
I'm a little kid who sticks his fingers in his ears, stomps his his feet and refuses to discuss it. I grew up where you never said the word out loud

Can't really approach such a disease rationally when its loaded with so much negativity. Burns is going to knock this one out of the park.
